Ingredients:
Here’s what you’ll need to create this mouthwatering dish:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Green pepper |
| 1 | Onion |
| 1 | Tablespoon butter |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 6 | Tablespoons sour cream |
| 1 | Cup salsa |
| 1 | Cup cooked ham |
| 1 | Package flour tortillas (8 count) |
| 1 1/2 | Cups shredded cheddar cheese |
Instructions:
1. Saute Vegetables:
- Begin by sautΓ©ing the diced green pepper and onion in a skillet with a tablespoon of butter or oil until they turn tender and aromatic.
2. Prepare Egg Mixture:
- Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the pan and add in the beaten eggs. Scramble-fry the eggs until fully cooked.
3. Add Creamy Base:
- To the cooked eggs, add in the sour cream and salsa, creating a rich and creamy base for your enchiladas.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Now, it’s time to bring all the flavors together! Add in the cooked ham and one cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture, reserving the remaining cheese for the topping. Heat the mixture through until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
5. Assemble Enchiladas:
- Spoon approximately half a cup of the filling into the center of each flour tortilla and roll them up tightly, ensuring that the filling is securely enclosed within.
6. Bake:
- Place the filled tortillas seam side down in a casserole dish, creating a snug arrangement. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
7. Bake Until Golden:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and bake the enchiladas for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortillas turn slightly golden brown.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once out of the oven, serve your piping hot Holiday Breakfast Enchiladas with extra salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping and drizzling.
Tips:
- For a festive touch, consider garnishing the enchiladas with chopped fresh cilantro or diced tomatoes before serving.
- These enchiladas can be prepared ahead of time and frozen for later use. Simply follow the recipe until step 7, then allow them to cool completely before wrapping them tightly, labeling, and freezing. When ready to enjoy, bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time until heated through.
